Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp Hot Sauce Family/Restaurant Size 24.69 Oz.(700 g.)

A very tasty condiment that is also great in cooked dishes, just spicy and hot enough to jazz up your taste buds without setting fire to them! Good for use in all international cuisines that require chili, and tacos are now boring without this sauce!

This is the best chili crisp around. It is my favorite and you can practically put it on anything. I put it on eggs beans, salad, salads, and pizza. It is not very spicy at all, and adds the perfect amount of crunch to any dish. This particular jar is massive! It is well worth the money that you spend on it. The smaller bottles in store run you about 6 to 7 dollars. The value for the money is great. I am constantly recommending this to everyone.

Among the best tasting spicy chili crisp hot sauce I've ever bought. The spiciness is not overwhelming while the taste is well balanced. The quality seems to be great.

If you don’t have this chili crisp yet, what are you even doing with your life? Tastes amazing, goes with just about everything.

PROs: nicely spicy with a nifty crunchy texture. reasonably priced (unlike a lot of the trendy "craft" chili crisp flooding the US market now). CONs: preservatives you might want to avoid (monosodium glutamate, sodium sulfite, and sulfur dioxide). super salty. I was lucky to receive my big jar in one piece, unlike some reviewers. (There wasn't any cushioning inside the box to protect it in transit, so I would advise anyone ordering to consider ordering it alone, rather than as part of a larger order of things that might get damaged by leaking oil or an inadvertently cracked or smashed jar.) Don't be put off by bizarre assertions in some reviews about a "fishy" taste: there is none, nor are there any ingredients that would impart one! There is, however, a lot of salt. To my palate, the level of sodium is overwhelming, which is a shame because I like nearly everything else about Lao Gan Ma's chili crisp, aside from the preservatives. Chili crisp has a way of enhancing most foods that is surprising and delightful. It is fantastic on everything from eggs to veggies to meats to noodles. It has a habit of disappearing really quickly... which is why, if you like the taste, this large jar isn't overkill. If you haven't tried it before, it might not be a bad idea to first buy a small jar at your local Asian grocer to see if you like it: it should be about $3 for a 7oz. jar. You can also order a case (12 jars) of LGM here on Amazon for about $36. After buying this Family/Restaurant Size jar of LGM, I ordered a case of the small jars. Interestingly, the small jars (produced in March 2020) I received taste COMPLETELY different than this large jar: the sodium level isn't through the roof like it is in this large jar, and the flavor and crispiness are noticeably better. I have no idea if it is typical for batches to vary this much in taste -- or if I just got a one-off or expired large jar -- but I am even more addicted now. Great stuff!
